'cos it won't ;-(
I bought a new hedge trimmer a couple of weeks ago, since when it has of
course tipped it down. Now it's dry enough to use the thing I can of
course not get it started.
When I bought it the salesman gave it a guick once over and checked it
worked which it does, or at least did. Today I try to start it and I
have the engine switch in the on position, the choke closed, fuel primed
and it does nothing. Pulling the plug out I can see a spark and smell
fuel so what might I be missing.
This is a hayter ht230s if that makes a difference.
Any suggestions?
You're supposed to start a cold engine with the choke *open*. And
make sure to use fresh fuel.
Inline fuel filter or carb filter could be defective or clogged.
